What's missing in this picture?

Me! These are my new chairs and my new favorite summertime stitching spot. Mr. Wonderful - the man of sooooooo many words - even commented and suggested I get a couple more. Well, I can only get two at a time......it was hard enough fitting two in the back of a Prius. Two guys in the parking lot suggested getting a saw from Home Depot to cut off the legs so I could get them in the back of the car which only made me more determined to get them in the car. Between them is my new fern, Ike. As I was driving home from Home Depot, I thought I need to name my fern! I thought about Poindexter but then remembered one of my son's doctors called him Spikey Ikey for his spiked hair.....so Ike it is! My daughter has a fern about 4 times this size and his name is Bob! He spends the winter in her dining room.......so I guess Ike will move inside in the fall. Mr. Wonderful didn't quite understand the whole name the plant thing. I explained that I don't plan to talk to Ike but if Ike follows in Bob's footsteps, he will take on a life of his own.......maybe it was too much sun for me yesterday. And on the table..........another project I started! What is up with that??? Do I have Crafters ADD or what?
